Description

Item/Description: Canadian estate pipe by Michael Parks. Pipe Stamped: PARKS / VI.8 (Maple Leaf) (Parks Pipe Logo)
Michael Parks is a high-grade pipe maker from Canada. Michael does not make a large number of pipes each year, but he does bring extra-high level to each one that is made.
